Joshua "Josh" Madden is a fictional character from the American
daytime drama, All My Children. He first came to Pine Valley on June
17, 2005 and was originally portrayed by actor Scott Kinworthy until
September 15, 2005. Following Kinworthy's departure, he was portrayed
by actor Colin Egglesfield from September 2005 until January 2009.The
character was initially the subject of a controversial and landmark
abortion storyline back in the early 1970s, having been the fetus in
which the abortion was centered. When the abortion storyline was
rewritten to not have been an abortion after all, controversy ensued
again, as viewers felt that it was an undoing of a groundbreaking
event in television history.The writers originally scripted Josh's
birth date to be December 18, 1973. When Alicia Minshew took over the
role of Kendall Hart in 2002, the producers had Kendall's birth year
changed to 1976, thus pushing Erica Kane's even later than it was
before, to 1962. This left Josh's birth date between his sisters,'
Kendall's (1976) and Bianca Montgomery's (1984), with his now set at
December 18, 1980.Josh is the son of characters Erica Kane and Jeff
Martin. Originally, the character was to have been aborted (in what
was the first abortion on television after the Roe v. Wade decision).
However, later during Megan McTavish's third stint as All My Children
head writer, a character named Dr. Greg Madden was written to have
taken the embryo and implanted the embryo into his wife.
